Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the reduction rate of an original distinguishable at a glance on a receiving side by providing a scale CG means which inputs a scale and compressing/restoring means and transmitting an original with the scale indicating the reduction rate of the original at a part of the original. CONSTITUTION:Whether or not an original is to be reduced is discriminated by a control section 11. When reduction is not required, an originating source CG fetched from a CG pattern section 17 is transmitted to an opposite side and a scale CG is successively fetched from a scale CG section 18 and sent to the opposite side in an unmagnification state. When reduction is required, a scale corresponding to the size of the original is fetched from the scale CG section 18 and sent to a compressing/restoring section 12 after the originating source print CG is transmitted. The section 12 transmits the scale CG to the opposite side through a line controlling section 14 and network controlling section 16 after compressing the scale CG at the same reduction rate as that adopted to the original. The scale can be recorded at an arbitrary part of the original, such as the end part of the recording paper, etc., when the received original is outputted. Thus the size of the transmitted original can be discriminated easily.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Table of contents] Overview Industrial field of application Conventional technology Problems to be solved by the invention Means for solving the problems (Fig. 1) Working examples (Figs. 2 to 4) Figure) Effects of the invention [Summary] Regarding a scale transmission facsimile device, a scale reduced at a reduction rate according to the receiving side facsimile device is sent together with the transmitted document, and when the receiving side outputs the scale, the reduced rate is included in a part of the received document. The purpose of this system is to make it possible to determine the reduced state of the received output document by outputting a scale corresponding to the size of the received document. A facsimile machine that transmits a transmitted original is provided with a scale CG means for outputting a scale, and a compression/decompression means for inputting the scale from the scale C0 means when transmitting a read original and reducing it to the same reduction ratio as the original to be transmitted. A scale with the same reduction ratio as the original to be sent is added to a part of the original to be sent.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a scale transmission facsimile device, and more particularly, to a scale transmission facsimile device that notifies the other party of the reduction dust of a document when transmitting a document.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in facsimile communication, if the size of a document transmitted from a sending FAX cannot be received by a receiving FAX, the transmitted document is reduced and transmitted.

In particular, if the size of the original to be sent is 84 or A3, the receiving side
In many cases, it is not possible to receive the message directly via AX.

In this case, the fax is reduced to a size that can be received by the receiving fax machine, such as A4 or B4, and then sent.

Also, A4-A4 communication, B4-B4 communication, or A4-8
4 communication, etc., if the recording paper size of the receiving FAX is equal to or larger than the sending original, the original is sent at the same size.

However, if the received paper size of the receiving FAX is smaller than the original to be sent, the original is automatically reduced and sent.

This reduction process is performed regardless of the operator on both the sending and receiving sides.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional facsimile machines as described above have a drawback in that it is not possible to determine whether a sent document is the same size or reduced.

In particular, it is often desirable to send design drawings without reducing them, but even if you specify the magnification factor, they will be automatically reduced depending on the recipient's ability, so the recipient cannot know the size of the sent document. , it had the disadvantage of being inconvenient.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such conventional drawbacks, and when transmitting a manuscript, it is possible to accurately judge the state of the transmitted manuscript before it is reduced. The purpose of this is to make it possible to determine at a glance whether the sent document has been reduced or not, when a part of the document is sent with a scale added to it and received by the receiving fax machine.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is as follows.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of a scale transmission facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, and the present invention will be described in detail below based on FIG.

First, before transmitting a document, an instruction is given to the control section 2 from the operation/display section 1, and the instruction is sent to the other party's FA via the transmission/reception control section 7.
Exchange procedure signals with X (receiving side FAX).

At that time, you can find out the size of the receiving paper (recording paper) of the other party's FAX.

Therefore, if the size of the transmitted original is larger than the recipient's received paper, the CGC character generator) pattern section 5
After extracting and transmitting the source printed CG signal from the scale C0 unit 6, the scale CG signal prepared in advance is extracted from the scale C0 section 6 and transmitted.

In this case, the scale CG in the scale CG section 6 is prepared with a length corresponding to the size of the document, and the scale is 2 fins and 1c111.

This is expanded and reduced by the compression/decompression unit 4 and transmitted via the transmission/reception control unit 7.

Next, the document read by the document reading section 3 is reduced in size by the compression/decompression section 4, and then transmitted to the other party's FAX via the transmission/reception control section 7.

Note that if the size of the transmitted original is the same as or smaller than the size of the recipient's received paper, the scale CG and the original are transmitted at the same size.

[Effect]

As mentioned above, a scale is added to a part of the transmitted message, such as the beginning of the document, as a standard for accurately determining the state of the transmitted document before reduction, so on the receiving side, the sent document is reduced in size. You can tell at a glance whether the image has been reproduced or the same size.

Also, if you actually measure the scale at this time, you can accurately determine the reduction ratio.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a scale transmission facsimile machine that is an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, 11 is a control unit that controls the entire device;

Reference numeral 19 indicates an image file, 20 indicates a recording section, 2■ indicates an operation panel, 22 indicates a display section, and 23 stores various communication management information (communication management information section, 24 indicates an abbreviated number information section, and 25 indicates system information. For example, it is used to store information regarding relay requests, information regarding paper size, etc.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a specific example of the scale CG used in the embodiment of FIG. 2.

FIG. 3(A) is a scale CG of the same size, and in this example, the scale is in 2 dragon units and ILJ units.

Moreover, FIG. 3(B) is a specific example when received as a reduced scale, and is a scale CG of 81% reduction.

That is, when this scale is actually measured, IC1 on the same scale
One scale is 8 dragons, and it can be seen that this is an example when B4 size is reduced to A4 size.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an operation flowchart in the embodiment of FIG. 2, and the operation will be explained below based on this flowchart.

First, a document is set and the operator presses the send button on the operation panel 21 to start sending.
Exchange of information based on a predetermined communication protocol begins between the sending and receiving FAX.

Then, following the pre-step shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 11 determines whether the size of the document to be transmitted is smaller than A4 or larger than A4 (step 50 in FIG. 4).

In the judgment at step 50, if the original to be sent is A4 or smaller, there is no need to reduce it, so the source CG extracted from the CG pattern section 7 is sent to the recipient's fax machine, and then the scale CG section ls is Take out the scale CG and send it at the same size.

This life-size scale CG is as shown in Figure 3 (A), and after this scale CG, the life-size original (image) is transmitted, and then the post-protocol procedure is performed to perform transmission processing. finish.

Further, if it is determined in step 50 that the document size exceeds A4, it is determined in step 51 whether the size is 84 or not.

If it is B4 or smaller, it is determined in step 52 whether the recipient's received paper size is 84 or larger, and if it is 84 or larger, send the sender's print CG, send the scale CG at the same size, send the original at the same size, and perform the post-procedure. The transmission process ends.

In step 52, the receiving paper size of the other party is B4.
When it is smaller (N side), after sending the sender print CG transmission (including sending date, time, etc.), scale CG1118
A scale CG corresponding to the original size is taken out from the CG and sent to the compression/decompression section 12.

After the compression/decompression unit 12 compresses the data at the same reduction rate as that of the original to be transmitted, the data is transmitted to the destination via the line control unit 14 and network control unit 16.

Thereafter, post-procedures are performed and the transmission process ends.

In step 51, if the document size is on the N side, that is, the document size exceeds 84, it is determined in step 53 whether or not the received paper size of the other party is A3.

At this time, if the N side, that is, the other party is smaller than A3,
As described above, the sender print CG transmission, scale CG reduction transmission, reduction original transmission, and post-procedures are performed, and the transmission process is completed.

Also, in step 53, the Y side, that is, the opponent is A3.
If it is above, there is no need to reduce the size, so the source printed CG
Transmission, scale C0 same-size transmission, same-size original transmission, post-procedures are performed, and the transmission process ends.

In the case of reduced transmission as described above, a reduced scale CG as shown in FIG. 3(B) is transmitted, and after this reduced scale CG, the reduced original is sent (i).

It is desirable that this scale be output at the edge of the recording paper when outputting the received document. For example, it may be recorded at the beginning of the output side of the recording paper, after the date or destination, or at any desired location such as the end of the recording paper.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the following effects.

+1) Since a scale is added to the beginning of a transmitted document as a reference for accurately determining the state before reduction, the receiving side can judge the reduction rate of the document at a glance.

(2) On the receiving side, by actually measuring the sent scale CG, the size of the transmitted document can be easily determined.

For example, in Figure 3 (A) it is the same size, and in Figure 3 (B) the actual size of the fe1m scale is 81 squares, so the B4 size manuscript is reduced to A4 size (81% reduction). I can judge things with my eyes.
